An ongoing decision process should specify both a regular review cadence and the events that could trigger an earlier assessment. Common triggers include sustained changes in regional demand, a major customer win, supplier changes, or planned capacity investments.

Thresholds should reflect your business exposure and response time. A small change may matter when capacity is tight, while larger movements may be tolerable where you have flexibility. Setting these conditions in advance helps your team avoid reacting to every fluctuation while still recognizing meaningful shifts.

For example, you might review service territory assumptions quarterly, but initiate an earlier review if a major new customer changes regional volumes. The purpose of the trigger is to open a decision for fresh evaluation, not to predetermine its outcome.
